Chapter 6: The Most Poisonous Man
"Mother," at the moment when Mrs. Tai was hit by Xia Gai, her fingers were tightly held by Wang's hand, "Mother, why bother, from the moment the newcomer Xia Gai fell, he can't be lifted by his mother's family, nor can he meet and talk to his mother's family, does Mother want a pair of newcomers not to get the blessing of their ancestors, and they will be covered with a big bad omen before the ceremony?" Wang finally showed his fierce side, gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Mother, it is indeed your granddaughter under the Xia cover, what else are you worried about?" ”
Mrs. Tai wanted to shake off Wang's hand with her backhand, but she was held tightly, she tried her best to break free, and she didn't want Wang's hand to shake her hand fiercely, Mrs. Tai took a few steps backwards, almost wanting to fall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before Mrs. Tai could stand firmly, two mothers-in-law who followed Wang rushed up, one held Mrs. Tai, and the other covered Mrs. Tai's mouth with her hand, for fear that Mrs. Tai would be emotional, and shout loudly.
"Okay, the auspicious time has arrived, the hall is waiting for the newlyweds to pay their respects, please go back to Mrs. Tai!" Wang waved his hand, and Mrs. Tai was invited out of the company.
At this time, the voice of the muezzinin was heard again in the hall, "The auspicious time has come, please invite the newlyweds to the hall-"
The bride led the newlyweds into the hall, and the groom Xu Shilang who came to marry appeared in front of a beautiful woman, covered with a phoenix, and the silver phoenix on the red background was illuminated by candlelight, and the figure was graceful, and she was hired step by step.
Xu Shilang, who was dressed in the same red wedding dress, was also a talent, and when he saw the graceful demeanor of the newcomer under the wedding dress, a smile appeared on his lips.
The newlyweds are married, farewell to their parents, cross the brazier, get on the sedan chair, the groom takes the lead, and takes the greeting team to the Shilang Mansion, although there are four aunts in the family, but where can it be compared with the main room that the Ming media is marrying, and the dowry brought out from the Jiang Mansion has become a ten-mile long street.
The smile on the corner of Xu Shilang's lips spread on his face, and his mind has always been the posture of the newcomer. This time he got married, and he was naturally happy. The newcomer greeted the Shilang Mansion, and after the next series of etiquette, he opened the cover with drunken eyes, and saw the delicate and beautiful little face under the phoenix crown, and was even more excited, sighing that God took him not thin, and he could marry such a beautiful woman in the continuation of the string, and he couldn't remember that the portrait of the woman he sent when he asked Najib was completely different from the eyebrows and eyes of the glamorous newcomer in the cave room.
Not to mention the newcomers Qin Se and Ming, Mrs. Tai Bai and the two old mothers drove to the room, probably because they were old and couldn't stand the toss for a while, they were dizzy for a while, and they were filled with some potions in their mouths and fell asleep.
The two old mothers glanced at each other, walked out of Mrs. Tai's room and went to Wang's to hand over the business.
On the second day, Jiang Wenyuan came to Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, only to find that she was sick and fell asleep, Wang said that it was her granddaughter who was married, Mrs. Tai was reluctant, and her heart was exhausted, so she hurriedly instructed her subordinates to invite a famous doctor in the capital to come to the house for treatment.
After a few days of diagnosis and treatment, Mrs. Tai's condition not only did not improve, but became more and more serious, and even her beloved granddaughter could not see her on the third day. Occasionally woke up, but also screamed a few times intermittently, Ling'er fell asleep again. This lasted for a few days, and the body became thinner and thinner, from being able to drink a little decoction at first, to not eating water and rice, and then being skinny and unbearable.
The famous doctor shook his head, sighed and ordered to prepare for the future. Jiang Wenyuan was weak-hearted, and under the heartache, he almost cried so much that he almost turned his back on it.
"Carry the master back to the room to rest, I'll take care of it here." Wang's face was expressionless, and he motioned to the two old mothers who followed behind him.
After Jiang Wenyuan was half-helped out of the room, Wang closed the door, and only his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the room.
Wang Shi suddenly laughed, laughed and cried again, she took out an embroidered handkerchief from her waist, wiped her tears, sat in front of Mrs. Tai's bed, and said to Mrs. Tai, who was skinny and breathless on the bed, "Mother-in-law," Wang did not call Mrs. Tai's mother as in the past, "Mother-in-law, it turns out that you also have this day when you can't move, Jiang Mansion respects you, and the lord is always obedient to you everywhere, from the day I married into Jiang Mansion as an aunt, you have never looked at me, and you can't see that the master is good to me." But today, I am still sitting in front of you alive, and you, majestic all your life, what else do you have now? ”
After Wang finished speaking, the endless anger in her eyes turned into joy, she gently stroked her temples, and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, don't you want to know who the newcomer under the Xia Gai is?" It's okay for me to tell you today, it's Mo'er who marries into the Shilang Mansion, it's Mo'er, not Ling'er who is held in the palm of your hand. ”
Wang Shi smiled at the old man on the bed, "You didn't expect that the two old gardens in Xiling and the two shops on Wangfu Street are Mo'er's dowries." Hahaha, you didn't expect it, Ling'er, who is regarded as your heart and treasure in your palm, has been sold to human traffickers, mother-in-law, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame you for being too biased, the most poisonous person in the world is you, all these consequences are caused by you, hahaha......"
Mrs. Tai, who had no life, after Wang Shi said these words, two boats of cloudy old tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and they were soaked in the wrinkles that were loosely piled together.
Mrs. Tai's fingers trembled slightly, and she flipped over a bowl of soup on the bedside table, and the soup bowl rolled to the ground, shattering with a click. Mrs. Tai had no more strength, and finally her hands and feet twitched twice, and her body gradually became cold.
Wang's eyes stared at the old man in horror, startled by the sound of the bowl breaking, and wanted to get up and escape from the room, but his hands and feet fell to the ground without obeying the call.
Wang Shi lay on the ground, his body trembled like chaff, for a long time, there was no movement, he boldly looked up at the bed, and slowly crawled to the bed, oozing trembling fingers on the nose of Mrs. Tai to test it, the fear and fear in her eyes finally disappeared, she got up, tugged at her dress, and said to herself, "Mother-in-law, there is one more thing to tell you, Wanxin grew up with your beloved Ling'er, that girl is blessed, she will go to the palace for the draft instead of Mo'er......"
The funeral of Jiang Wenyuan's mother was like a fallen leaf flying in the sky, and it was instantly drowned in the bleak autumn wind.
On September 18 of the ninth year of Qianfeng, the triennial selection of the emperor's show girl kicked off, but all official eunuchs or folk women and people must participate in the election, and those who did not participate in the election for some reason must be investigated and questioned by the local responsible officials.
But most of the folk women are reluctant to enter the palace, and the show girls who are elected to the palace can be as rare as the saint Longmu, and the rest of the unsuccessful people will be used as palace maids, although the court has the rule that palace maids can leave the palace at the age of twenty-five, but there are very few palace maids who can live to be twenty-five years old.
Show girls enter the palace and become palace maids, they must abide by various rules in the palace, in order to keep the secrets in the palace, most women can only wait for death in the palace. Moreover, the regulations formulated in the palace are strict, and even people outside the palace are strictly forbidden to pass letters or items for the palace maids. Once the ban is violated, it is considered death. The palace is strictly hierarchical, and if the palace maids make any mistakes in the palace, there are special punishments - "lifting the bell", "pier lock", "boarding" and so on "waiting" for them. The palace ladies were strictly controlled, and the punishment was severe and cruel.
Ye Luo returned to the roots, after getting old, the palace maid had to be able to leave the palace, but in order to prevent the palace people from leaking the things in the palace, the old palace maid was imprisoned in the Ni Yi Bureau and was still not allowed to leave the palace.
When a woman enters the palace, if she is not a concubine with a little status in the palace, it means that she will never want to see her relatives again in this life. Just imagine, there are very few women who are willing to take risks in the palace.
At the beginning of September, in order to avoid being selected as a show girl, the woman who had not yet decided to marry hastily married her, and the folk set off a marriage climax "Lalang matching", and the marriage talk was like a tide, and the unmarried women of the appropriate age were wiped out, and the folk women became other women in a few days. There are even those who hang down the bun and shoot shoots, and there are those who smell milk. What's more, the widow also hastily remarried because of the news of "choosing a palace maid".
No matter how unhappy the civil marriage is, it is better to meet with the family a few times than to be sent to the palace without knowing whether to live or die.
On September 28, the primary election for the show girl came to an end, and the second daughter of Jiang Fu was fifteen years old, and she had not yet decided on a marriage, and she was also among the selections. In the few show girl primaries, she was outstanding in appearance and ranked among the best, and went to the palace with other selected show girls to learn court etiquette and wait for the emperor to choose herself.
On the first day of October, the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City slowly opened in the skylight, and 180 show girls gathered in front of the gate, waiting in batches according to their age. As soon as the Shenwu Gate opened, he was led by the harem eunuchs, passed through the Shunzhen Gate, and went to the Zhongcui Palace for placement. The show girls who entered the Zhongcui Palace were selected by the emperor and queen, and some of the selected show girls became the emperor's concubines, some were assigned to the prince, the prince of the county, the prince, and the emperor's grandson, and the others were on duty in the court.
Wanxin silently walked in the ranks of show girls, on the day of the young lady's wedding, after she was replaced by Zijuan, she has been locked in the firewood room in the backyard of Jiang's house, and later Wang threatened Wanxin's family's life to replace her in the Jiang's mansion This female draft. If you don't agree, with Wang's viciousness, the life of the family will definitely be difficult to protect. Wan Xin was forced to be helpless, so she had to obey Wang's arrangement.
Now her identity is the second daughter of Honglu Temple, and she has been standing silently in the ranks of show girls, at the command of the eunuch, without a word. This is the palace, and she can reveal her identity. But Wang threatened her, if her identity is revealed, it will be the crime of deception, the crime and the nine clans, more people will die, Wan Xin does not want innocent people to die because of herself, in this most noble place in the world is also the most difficult to distinguish, be cautious, lest you make a mistake and cause trouble.
Just waiting for the arrival of the aunt who was the steward of Zhong Cui Palace, Wan Xin raised her beautiful and graceful little face, stared at the gloomy sky, and sporadic drizzle fell.
She remembered that day she accompanied Miss Qingling to secretly go out of the house to swim in Qianli Pond and the lake, there was also sporadic light rain in the sky, and the autumn breeze was as cool as this. She remembered the days when she grew up with Miss since she was a child, and what she thought about the most was Miss pretending to be angry, "Look, just say a few jokes, and your eyes will be red." Who said that I was going to leave you, since I was a child, I didn't treat you like my own sister, and I was a slave and a slave when I told a joke, am I the harsh master in your eyes? ”
Wanxin's heart was sour, her eyes were a little blurry, and she silently said in her heart, "Miss, we finally got separated, and you finally lost Wanxin, in the future, without Wanxin by your side, will you miss me?" Wanxin entered the palace, it is impossible to see each other again in this life, Miss, take care! ”
Wan Xin choked up, she only thought that Qingling was married to the Shilang Mansion, but she didn't know that Qingling, who had been with her for more than ten years, was a hundred times worse than her entering the palace.
